Installed Perrin front sway bar. What a PITA that was. Now I have one less excuse for the coming autocross season.

FINALLY someone else running 45 ratio on 17X9, color combo looks great too btw 👍
Thanks man!
Yep it's close on the fender gap but I'm not lowered so much that it ever rubs. Car corners hard and flat, no signs rubbing. I'm at -2 camber in the back.

I'm running the same size on rsr superdowns and no rubbing either. I think I ended up with -3 in the rear and Max out camber bolts in the front ~1.6 negative camber

Installed my Perrin front plate relocator kit. Car didn't come with one from the dealership I bought it from. Looks great and only took about 15 mins.

I installed my Valenti Revo HC-2 taillights, a pair of front 3D MaxPider Floor Mats, and my new license plate!

I think these taillights look way better than the OEM ones, and they also don't look as aftermarket as some others. The floor mats are also great. I had some substantial heel wear in the carpet, and these will help protect that. Looked at getting a pair of weathertechs, but I feel these look better. They also feel much better on the feet. Doesn't feel like you're resting your heels on hard plastic.

I have those same floor mats and after owning them for less than a year, the heel wear is there! I don't have any pictures, but it's basically as if I've scrapped through the area that the heel sits in under the gas pedal.

Oh goodness, don't tell me that! Let me be in my happy floor mat world. I imagine there will be some heal wear, but at least it won't be in my carpet. Now if you're saying you've gone through the mat and into the floor, that's a bigger problem.

Some love for the BRZ after a long time.
Them black OEM tails from 86SPEED. Why not something different? I just can't give up my love for these round LEDs. Stock ones are red painted, and very happy with these black ones too.



Since clear cover, thought I would put these tritons into use as well.
These are maybe from their first batch that I got for my previous car back in 2012 or something.
Still works and bright as hell.

For those who are curious about what the journey has been like. I've had no issues at all, this car has treated me really well ::knock on wood::.
  • My commute to work is 46 miles each way so roughly 100 miles 5 days a week. Never taken to the track, just a bit of fun here and there as most of us do while daily driving.
  • Oil changes done between 3000-4000 when I was under 50k, then started stretching to 7000 miles since it is mostly highway commuting.
  • Used nothing but Mobil1 0w20 with OEM oil filters.
  • Did brake flush twice, once at 30k and once a 99k.
  • Did trans/diff change at 15k and then again at 95k, using Motul Gear300. The second time around the fluid still looked mint, I will likely never do it again since this fluid held up great and there was verrry little (hardly any) metal shavings on the drain plug.
  • Since I've had the car I've had to top off coolant every year or so..used probably 1/4 of a jug in ~4 years.
  • Been running a OFT Stage 2 UEL tune since around 30k IIRC, with Tsudo UEL and Top Speed Pro 1 ABE.
  • Still on original brake pads and clutch.
  • My battery is ready to be replaced and one of my key fob batteries recently died.
